Hotel All'Angelo

hotel good location, but room disappointing

the hotel had its own dock, which was very handy, but the rooms were not half as good as the pictures in their ad on the internet. no two rooms were the same size, or shape. the bathroom was very inconvenient and small. breakfast was adequate, but not terrific. not too many choices,

Traveler's tip on local attractions

the hotel was only about three blocks from san marco and was very handy for shopping, etc. but all the restaurants in that area catered primarily to tourists, and therefore were quite expensive. all of Italy is quite expensive now.

Venice First-timers

This was our first visit to Venice and we booked the All Angelo after researching online and also receiving a personal recommendation. WE arrived in Venice on a Saturday (big cruise ship day) and found that the walk to the hotel through San Marco square was a bit difficult due to the extreme crowds. Once reaching the All Angelo, however, it provided a sanctuary from those crowds. As we were traveling with friends and young adults, we had the advantage of experiencing three different types of accommodations. While all had their own unique qualities, the also were very comfortable and featured private baths (of varying sizes and configurations). Our only complaint was the air conditioning or lack thereof. The weather was a bit warm and air conditioning would have been nice, but the system was woefully inadequate. There also were no shutters on the windows, so leaving the windows open was not an option as the rooms faced other buildings and are very close due to the street designs in Venice. The breakfast at the All Angelo was magnificent and the perfect way to begin each day. The buffet featured eggs, bacon, meats, and a variety of pastries along with cereal and yogurt. Included in the room price, this was very enjoyable. The All Angelo’s central location mere feet from San Marco is an advantage as once get to the main attractions easily. When in Venice be prepared to walk, walk, and then walk some more...all worth every step!

Traveler's tip on nightlife

While a bit expensive, take the time to enjoy a cappuccino or cafe latte at one of the restaurants in the Piazza San Marco. Each has outdoor seating and features a 4- or 5-piece orchestra for you listening pleasure. Many simply stand and listen and the move to the next orchestra, but sitting and enjoying the evening is something one should not miss.

Nice View but extremely NOISY

We had a room w/a very nice view, facing a small canal; unfortunately there was a renovation going on at the next building & it starts every morning at 6:30am sharp! Lots of speed boats went by at night, even after midnight. NOISY NOISY NOISY! But both the room and the bathroom are big. Location is good, price is reasonable. Staff is helpful. If I can make sure there is no renovation going on, I will go back.
